If Joe Biden successfully hikes the minimum wage, count on that being another "Biden buyers' remorse" moment. I could go on about how it would destroy jobs. But for the people who support it, math and economic literacy have never been their strong suit. Leftists randomly decided that the minimum wage should be exactly $15 an hour. People who voted for them agree. If Biden gets his hike, it won't be me losing my job or getting my hours cut. I'll be sure to think of you as I'm using the self-checkout kiosk at Taco Bell.

BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh has passed away - TheBlaze
BREAKING: Rush Limbaugh has passed away - TheBlaze:
Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh has passed away, his wife, Kathryn, announced on his show Wednesday morning. Limbaugh, the leading voice of the conservative movement, succumbed to his battle with lung cancer at the age of 70 after getting his Stage 4 diagnosis in January 2020.
El Rushbo was a pioneer in the radio industry, leading the way to get conservative and Republican issues and voices heard around the nation. He worked around the liberal monolith of the broadcast networks and the stranglehold Democrats had on the public airways.
Limbaugh began his nationally syndicated "Rush Limbaugh Show" in 1988 and at that moment began to reshape the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
W.H.O. Defends China from Accusations of Hiding Coronavirus Data
W.H.O. Defends China from Accusations of Hiding Coronavirus Data:
Chinese state media on Sunday gleefully quoted members of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) defending China from their own colleagues’ allegations that Beijing withheld important source data from investigators researching the origins of the coronavirus in Wuhan.
The Chinese presented their visitors with an analysis of the earliest recorded coronavirus cases but would not allow them to view the raw data. The Chinese claimed some of these records and samples have been destroyed.
LET THE PARENT REVOLT BEGIN
Instapundit--LET THE PARENT REVOLT BEGIN
"David Catron at The American Spectator sees a revolt coming from parents who are sick and tired of hearing from teachers about why they can’t come back to work due to Covid.
My view is the long-extended sickout justified by Covid fears is the best thing to happen to American education in decades because it finally exposed the teachers unions for the frauds they are.
And home-schooling has gotten a huge boost.
So when do Republicans in Congress start talking up an opt-out on education taxes for parents whose kids do not attend public schools?--Posted by
The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot - Glenn Greenwald
The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot - Glenn Greenwald
...Yet this is exactly what has happened, and continues to happen, since that riot almost seven weeks ago. And anyone who tries to correct these falsehoods is instantly attacked with the cynical accusation that if you want only truthful reporting about what happened, then you’re trying to “minimize” what happened and are likely an apologist for if not a full-fledged supporter of the protesters themselves.
- Insisting on factual accuracy does not make one an apologist for the protesters.
- False reporting is never justified, especially to inflate threat and fear levels.
"...There is no circumstance or motive that justifies the dissemination of false claims by journalists.
- One of the most significant of these falsehoods was the tale — endorsed over and over without any caveats by the media for more than a month — that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by the pro-Trump mob when they beat him to death with a fire extinguisher.
That claim was first published by The New York Times on January 8 in an article headlined “Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage.”
It cited “two [anonymous] law enforcement officials” to claim that Sicknick died “with the mob rampaging through the halls of Congress” and after he “was struck with a fire extinguisher.”
A second New York Times article from later that day — bearing the more dramatic headline: “He Dreamed of Being a Police Officer, Then Was Killed by a Pro-Trump Mob” — elaborated on that story...Read all.
